Matt Christman: The Beating Heart of Chappo Trap House

Matt Christman has been an integral part of the Chappo Trap House team since its inception in 2016. Known for his Midwest hobo vaudeville delivery, he combines ruthless criticism of the Democratic establishment with absurdist humor. His invective goes beyond mere political commentary and takes on a spiritual path. Drawing from Marxist dialectics, Christman examines the clash between human desires for love, connection, and meaning and the abstract and deadly force of capital. He dives into historical arcs and everyday social relations to analyze our world, uncovering the illusions of politics and online life. Despite the endless failures of liberalism, Christman's rage serves as a slingshot, propelling a moral arc that leads towards a profound appreciation of humanity's capacity for love and solidarity.
